Tánaiste Simon Coveney has insisted he will pursue the Government’s demand for Britain to release documents on the Dublin-Monaghan bombings with new Northern Secretary Karen Bradley.
Mr Coveney, who met Ms Bradley shortly after her appointment to the role earlier this month, said that “dealing with long-outstanding issues relating to the legacy of the conflict in Northern Ireland is of the utmost importance to the Government”.
